Which color centers for my new CCW Classics?!

Please vote above in the Poll Area and select 1 and comment below if you'd like...

ALL POLISHED OR SATIN BLACK w/ POLISHED LIP and CENTER CAPS OR BLACK CENTER W/ RED RING AROUND ARP BOLTS?

 

I'd love to hear all your guys' thoughts and input on the new wheels. So fire away!

 

I've had my eyes on getting CCW Classic wheels since I first saw them a couple years ago, but the price of them kept them on my dream list until recently. And I had always envisioned them on my car w/ black centers and polished lip and center caps cuz it went w/ my color choice on the car already.

 

So, I finally scored a good deal on my dream wheels and couldn't pass up the opportunity. They were 6 months used, but in perfect shape and perfect fitment for my Z.

 

They will fit under my ZGs and fill them up very nicely and cutting it close, I just have to cut my fenders and raise the flares. I'm awaiting for my new suspension to arrive that I just ordered... Tokico HTS shocks and Ground Control Coilovers (250 lb Front/275 lb Rear).

 

FRONTS: 17x9.5" (5.25" backspace and 0 offset)... thinking 265/40 tires

REARS: 17x10.5" (5.5" backspace and -6 offset)... thinking 285+/40 tires

 

But I picked up these wheels in all polished and can't decide for sure now, because the polished look does look good. I'm still in favor of black centers, but thought I'd throw it out there for voting.

 

Thanks!

 

Polished vs Satin Black... (sorry not the best pics)

 

 

OR NEW 3rd OPTION!... BLACK CENTER W/ RED LIPS (ignore option #3 description on poll)...

Rough Photoshop, but you get the idea...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And a teaser rear shot w/ 275/40 tires on the rear... whole new level of sexiness to Zaira now...

4" exhaust piping peeping through underneath... awaiting to get my mufflers back from ceramic coating...

 

 

 

ALSO... my super rare Riken meshies are for sale! 16x7" (0 offset - Black w/ chrome lip and Riken center caps), brand new tires, only 300 miles on them, 225/50 Dunlop SP Sport FM901s.

Justin, good to see your making progress. I've been wondering when I would be seeing and hearing your car again.

 

At first I thought it would be a no brainer with the black center's getting the nod, but now that I see it all polished I think it looks better that way.

i'd say polished, the black looks good but with the black flares it isn't visually balanced.

[David K]

The wheels look beautiful by themselves polished, but they look better in black on the car.

The tail light panel looks great by-the-way.

agreed 100%

[ben280zx]

It look good all polish

[RB26powered74zcar]

I have the shot peened / powder coated black centers, but like the all polished on your car..... they look awesome

[JustinOlson]

It pops with the polished centers. I'd keep them that way.

I'm generally impartial to black with a polished lip, but i think in this case, I think all polished looks better.

 

If you do go with black though, i say keep the polished centers.

EDIT: Choice 3!!!

 

Black centers to match the rest of your car.

 

Then you should powdercoat the trim rings on the tail lights satin black to complete the look.

polished

Was going to say black but man, the polished ones really pop! Besides, your Rikens were black so this might be a cool change. Either way it's a beautiful car.

What did i tell you J, the polished looks damn good!!!

 

Have fun with my wheels.

[Armand]

polished all the way. Looks much cleaner and less tacky.

[e_racer1999]

actually, the more i look at it, the more i like the polished...

[mark]

If the flairs stay black, keep the centers polished. If the flairs are painted red, go with the black centers.

[DRTY260Z]

Nice very nice!!

 

How much they set you back?

[80LS1T]

POLISHED ALL THE WAY!

 

I personally don't care for black wheels at all. But to each his own I guess. I think you have enough black on your car, the polished centers really make the car "pop".
